All Chapters of Bound By The Erstwhile Chains: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Camp Arietis is about to have a new unusual member. A member like no other ever seen before. No one knew her identity. They were not even cognizant of her gender detail. She was known only as the mysterious camp member with a very cold aura around her, even colder than that of the frost princess.Alaria Seraphina DoomTwo simple words to describe her, Cimmerian and Mysterious. She has a morbid ambience that gave not even a glimpse of the stygian blackness of her heart and empty soul. Some might say she was a walking dead, but I don't think Alaria's reaction to trespassers was anything like that of the walking dead.She keeps herself hidden from the world but at the same time, she was conspicuous everywhere she went. Her presence filled the whole place and people with a natural sense of fear, her authority commanded rapt attention.With all these striking features, you'd think no one would ever want to cross her path, but she has enemies, people hunting her do

What other good first impression is there than breaking the unbreakable protective seal set around the camp on your arrival. Yeah, exactly, no other entrance could be considered to be as grandiose as that. That is definitely sure to be forever imprinted in the minds of the members. Who knows, it might even make it to the historical records of ‘never been seen before’ events.It seems none of you know the gravity of the seal's powers, allow me to expatiate. The seal had been around the camp for decades, maybe even milleniums. It was placed there together with an invisible magical dome by the seven elders of Arietis called The Stanchion in order to protect the camp from any threat whatsoever. The camp used to face attacks and the founders, The Stanchion had thought of a way to protect the camp from intruders, thereby merging their powers to forge what we now know as the seal.The camp had been found for years now, precisely it had been in existence

"What?! Never, that, that...thing cannot stay in this camp. We can't possibly allow him to stay. If he insists on staying, then he'll be locked up in the dungeon. There's no way he's going to be a camp member. No way!". Professor Ethan, the hand-to-hand combat/obstacle course teacher shouted.A meeting was being held by the dean alongside the other camp staff regarding the acceptance of the intruder and his conditions and demands. The meeting had been going on for about an hour now as the dean had been trying to convince the staff members but the arguments between the staff didn't wane one bit. The teachers, especially Professor Ethan, were bent and strongly inclined on not giving this intruder a chance to stay at the camp.“Dean Lee, professor Ethan is right. We can't risk letting an intruder, someone we know nothing about, into our camp grounds. Not only are the lives of the students in jeopardy but the entirety of the camp as we know it. If we allow this to happen, we

You're going to make me deaf. And yes we all know about yesterday, we were there, remember?”. Leigh replied annoyedly as she glared at Fiorella who didn't seem to notice the glare as she continued to gush about what had happened the previous day.“It was so surprising to find out that the seal of the gods was broken, totally destroyed. I was stupefied!”. She shouted again, making the group of friends walking together to begin the first activity of the day, sigh frustratedly.Leigh, rather than complaining, had resulted to pinching the bridge of her nose with her fi
